A tutor at New England College has been indicted on charges that she sexually assaulted a now-10-year-old boy.

The Merrimack County Superior Court indictment alleges Deborah Furst of Epsom assaulted the boy starting in 2006, when he was about 3 years old. She faces three charges of aggravated felonious sexual assault. Court documents allege the assaults happened in Concord, Newbury and Bradford.

New England College officials say the 58-year-old Furst was voluntarily placed on administrative leave Thursday after the school learned about the charges.

Robert Hunt, a lawyer for Furst, said Friday she has vigorously denied the allegations and maintains her innocence.
